A quick review. I just saw Terminator 4. And it sucked. Like...within the first 20 minutes I knew it was going to suck. Fatal Flaw #1: Overacting, underacting and no acting. At one point Christian Bale was screaming into a walkie talkie and all I could think was "why the f*ck is this dude screaming." Like wise...the new half robot character could not act. Fatal Flaw #2: Explosions plus action do not equal a plot. Now I like a good bang em' up man movie as mush as the next guy, but this movie is nothing but 2 hours of blowing up machines and machines blowing up...and that's it. Fatal Flaw #3: They are getting too wrapped up in this time traveling thing. I know that it was the premise of the original movie and maybe why the franchise is so hot in general...but now it's just getting ridiculous. If I was watching the future, that means nothing you or the machines can do can change the future (or the present in this case). But if that is not the case at least try to connect the plot points. You cant keep adding to the time travel story and not explainyourself. Also....here's a spoiler...there is a CGI Arnold in the movie...and when I saw that I completely gave up on the movie all together.

Popular animated series Avatar The last Airbender is being made into a movie. The show itself is really well done. Smart plot and well drawn. But unfortunately, M. Night Shamamlalon has his hands in the mix. Did anyone see Lady in the Water? Yeah....exactly.....

And that's kid. Summer flicks are still being dropped left and right, and though I hit a bit of a road block with Terminator, I am still excited for Harry Potter, Transformers 2 (Megan Fox) and GI Joe. Let's get it.

I kinda don't want to hate on Jermain...bit this is a little creepy. When you start comparing your girlfriend to the Virgin Mary and letting the world know with a perminant side tat...something is wrong. BTW, I WILL be getting a new tattoo in a few days for my bday.

Yea, I know...I'm a bad person for watching the season premier on Monday night. I have been watching the show for some time now. So I have some vested interest. Aiden and Hannah are my favorites from the little Asian midget crew. I get how watching a divorce in progress is a bad thing. I understand why critics are all up in arms about the kids and how the break-up of a family shouldn't be documented for entertainment purposes and draw a bigger audience than the season final of LOST. The lack of morality involved with sitting down and witnessing this break up at the expense of these kids is staggering. Really...I get all of that.

BUT.....

Is that not the purpose of reality tv? This show is perhaps the realest of the reality tv mega-onslaught in the past decade. Its about more than a competition-it's life. .Jon and Kate claim that they started documenting in order to record the early years of their kids. And I can buy that. Now it's a circus and lets face it....it's the only way the family is bringing in money. They are stuck. And if you saw any of the shows and how Kate deboed Jon on a daily basis you knew that this day was coming. It's just an added bonus that we get to watch it. And that may sound wrong...but divorce happens every day. And more so that worrying about these 8 kids (who are probably set for life financially), this is Kate's doing and I personally am watching to see her get what she deserves. For those of you who did watch it, did you see how Jon had/has alot more to say when Kate isn't on the couch with him? Yea....he has tasted freedom. And I will be watching him while he gains complete freedom from Kate, tears and all.

So I may or may not have signed up for a Medieval Times birthday a few months ago, forgot and then received a personal email with my government name on it. And they had the nerve to put little children in costumes on it. And they sent it at 1am. The really funny part...is that I was really excited about it. Anyone want to go with me? I need a designated driver.

P.S. This is full disclosure here. It's me opening up to you, the reader. But seriously...is anyone interested in a dinner and a tournament?

"...Have we simply traded one form of inequality for another? Before we had separate and unequal and today we have separate and still unequal, but you can go to the Starbucks without being attacked by a firehose?"

Danielle from The Blacksnob has a seriously interesting post about the double edge sword of integration in America. Every point made was valid. Is it better to go to a historically black college (if you are a minority)? Or is there some impeding gain to integrated institutions? Or is the black community just all screwed up (and it's kinda integration's fault)?

You knew it was coming. The Trekky in me says that Zoe is a certified banger. Only one draw back....and you guys who know me, know what that is. In addition...let's hope she makes better life decisions than my last certified banger.

I thought I'd follow up the previous post with something a little bit more private. Ha ha...do you get it? Anyway....these are poster ads promoting Staying Alive, MTV's global HIV and AIDS in Belgium. I havn't yet gotten the grasp of what is going on...because every time I look at them nice and big, I giggle and close them. Perhaps you will have more luck.

so I thought i had till tomorr. to post a humpday playlist.Man that holiday sure threw me off. So if today was Tuesday i was going to post this video and say get excited humpday is tomorrow.So this playlist is inspired by animals, rabbits, and monkeys. Enjoy!

1. first song i thought of.2. next song i thought of. i don't like this song.3. oh yea of course. almost didn't think of this one.4. at the itunes store i searched 'monkey' and this came up. I'm grossed out by this one.5. i was like what else has to do with apes- Gorillas... duh. this song is dumb.6. see above7. off the album "monkey business"- get it? 'monkey'.8. i also said animals. doggs are animals.

New Artist Alert. Ok...she is not new. Just new to me. Chrisette-Michele. I went to Boston for memorial day. I took the bus up (which I came to the conclusion that I will never do again), but I was able to talk my way into a ride back. And on that ride back I got a chance to hear this lovely young woman's new album Epiphany. There are a few songs I can't get down with...but for the most part, it's a great album. Beautiful jazzy strong voice dropped over some old school real r&b.

And check out her latest video. I see you Jimmy from Degrassi. Not sure how you got out of your wheel chair, but welcome to America.

Ok, that's it. Nice new artist. Here's her whole album. I only like a few songs, but maybe she will evolve into a true talent. One that can battle the likes a Beyonce and Ciara...and we can get some real music back on the airwaves. Fingers crossed.
